Yale Global Scholar Program- Singapore: a new way of summer

 

Summer are the best part of the year, as it let you unwind and allows you to have a variety of experience from enjoying a sun bath at a beach to watching your favorites movie while sitting in A.C. well that’s a matter of choice and sometimes it’s an opportunity in my case, I would say it was an opportunity which I chose for enjoying my summers. By this chosen opportunity I meant about Yale global scholar program at Yale NUS in Singapore, One of the most prestigious summer program in the world.

When I got accepted to YYGS Singapore I was super excited!! The only thing I knew was that I have to attend a summer school at Yale NUS. The kind of excitement I experienced was a combination of my heartfelt happiness and hesitation! As the day for my departure to the university came closer, I became more and more trilled for my first ever experience of a summer program; that to at the world’s best university.

And when I got into the university, this program far exceeded my expectations. If I have to explain my experience there, I would be speechless but to start with at the beginning of the first day, it seemed like daunting time just looming in the distance but as the day moved on it became more and more spectacular, it gave me a chance to interact with students from a diverse range of backgrounds and cultures and probably best minds across the globe and such highly motivated individuals who offered me a different perspective of world.

Beside this there were a wide array of activities for the individuals to make them more accustomed to the university, their instructors and their teammates. There were lectures and seminars from the top knot professors and instructors, who are specialists in their field and had the potential to propel you to the next level & the best part of the program was when we got the opportunity to talk face to face with them.

After the seminars comes the FUN part of the day the students used to gather in common rooms or in the university town area; where they get share there day’s experiences and do interesting activities from playing soccer in the field to playing card in the common room or working on the capstone project or any other exclamatory activity. Everything was so interesting, so lively that it made me feel at home. 

This program also gave us an insight how a typical day at a university would look like? And it even taught me how demanding is the work input and that, time management skills are vital to be a successful college student.

Truly, These seven days was one the best experience my life and I am deeply grateful to Yale for honoring me with this one in a lifetime opportunity and I am proud to be a part of YYGS community. I wish that I could have got some more time to spend there.
